The meeting held Saturday was at tended by many farmers, but not near so many as would have been there had more publicity been given to the time. This paper had a notice in advance to publish last week, but unfortunately neglected to publish it- NEAR IT DIDNT KNOW IT. Do you know where the evact geo graphic center of North Carolina lies? According to infromation just released by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, it is at Chatham, ten miles northwest of Sanford, in Lee county. The geographical center of South Carolina is at Richland; thirtenn miles southeast of Columbia, According to this report, geographi cal centers have a habit of falling in or about some "tank" town that is far from the center of population. If the nation's capitol were to be located in the exact center of the United States it would have to be moved to Smith county in northern Kansas, 1,000 miles from Washington.

Born to Mr. and Mrs. Fields Brown, a fine nine pound Doy. As results from the revival meetine- at Fall Creek, Bennett and the Grove, tnere were baptized Sunday at Fall Creek 20, at Bennett 4, at Pleasant Grove 31. The membership increase to each church exceeded the number bap tized, that at the Grove being even 40. For a young preacher in his seventy-second year, Rev. George Under wood, at Pleasant Grove, is a live wire. Rev. Lasater of the Bennett Bap tist church said the best thing during the meeting I have heard in any church in many a day. When re questing members to go into the con gregation and ask their sinner friends to come forward, Rev. Mr. Lasater said: "but remember that when you go to your sinner friends and they look you in the face and know you are no better than they are, they will not come with you." That very thing Mr. Lasater says, is keeping more people o;ut of the churches of all de nominations than any other one condi tion. Superior Godliness among church members is not sufficiently notice able, and when false pretense is ad ded to common sin, you see an ugly, repelling double dye. So Rev. Lasa ter's udgment is correct. Sorry church members are doing more to keep sinners from repenting than the devil and all his boot leg gers. I am speaking of church mem bers of my acquaintenance. These faulty ones are by no means in the majority in our churches, but they are plentiful enough to throw a wet blanket on every good thing the church endeavors to do. I am not look ing for perfection, even in church members. Just last week one church member here is said to have cuessed a brother member to a finish and not only led in prayer that night but made two "beautiful spiritual talks at same meeting." (Confidentially, it's absolutely true.) Another profanely ripped things up the back on the log yard last week, and this one is a prayer meeting lead er. Another thing, the individual who will not financially aid his church when he can, hasn't got religion. HENRY DURBIN BIRTHDAY PARTY ON FRIDAY. Local and Personal News of Interest To Record Readers.

Baseball fever ' has cooled down about three degrees but still the tem perature is above normal. It is a sight to see how crazy some folks gets ov er the great American pastime. If this money, time and wasted energy was put to some useful purpose, there would be a transformation in things. We people in this country go to ex tremes in everything we go into. Last Saturday evening, this whole town and a big slice of the country turned out to see a base ball game, and of course everybody that went in, left a quarter at the gate. Those who did not have the quarter or would not part with it, were perched over on the hill. After all it is not the two bits that is the trouble. It is the time kill ed and the demoralization that goes with all this carrying on. I have a poor opinion of a daddy who has noth ing better for a boy to do all his va cation than to put in six or seven days a week base balling. It is a migh ty good thing for a boy to learn early in life that there has got to be some hewing of wood and drawing of water done by somebody. The men in this town don't work half the time. You hear a lot of hard times and low wages, but as long as folks are not compelled to work to get enough to eat and wear, it is poor grace to kick. With the wages that are paid to day, the average man can put aside a little every week and could accumu late a small fortune in a few years if he was so disposed. The reason most of us are so poor is that we are not willing to economize and save up. Even if we get a few dollars ahead, we are not satisfied until we get an automobile or something else we have no earthly use for. I am not objecting to automobiles. The only reason I have not one, is that I cannot raise the price and don't want to put my credit in any more strain. A lot of folks would be a sight better off if they had less automobile and more bank ac count. "If business interferes with pleasure cut it out." But be sure to cut out business, unless you count baseball and automobile business. Pleasure is a great thing unless you run it in the ground and then it is just as bad as laziness and general cussedness despised by all. September is here and it won't be long until a man will have to have socks and you are going to have to get in wood too, for it looks now like we won't be able to pay for any coal after all these "reasonable" profits are put on it, we hear about. Fodder pulling and wheat sowing is here and we will all be busy from now on. DOINGS AT CAROLINA. Cumnock Rt. 2, Sept. 11. Since we last wrote we have been fortunate enough to have the Baptist State Evangelist, Rev. T. F. Pardue and Rev. O. C. Gravitt to conduct a very successful meeting of one week. A 1 t i. T At f A I real revival: more man nity conver sions were made. Several have affiliat ed themselves with other churches; some will join at Carolina as soon as the plans of organization is com pleted. Last Saturday night the Sunday school gave an ice cream supper which was well attended and the pro gram successfully carried out. There was Victrola music, also Mr- June Matthews, of Sanford, conducted the song service at the revival, rendered a beautiful solo, accompanied by the or gan, after which the choir sang sever- ! al selections. Hiveryone is deiignteo with Mr. Matthews' singing and all will be delighted to know that he will be here again on the fourth Sun day again, when Rev. Mr. Gravitt will preach at 11 a. m. Mr. W. H. Gilmore is all smiles its two boys twins arriving at his home on last Friday morning, mother and sons are doing nicely. Mr. A. F. Gunter, who is suffering with rheumatic troubles, is much im proved. Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson have as their guest for the week-end, "the Misses Dowdy, of Sanford. Clyde Oldham visited home folks Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Gilmore had as their guest Saturday night, Miss es Grace and Ruth Burke, of Gold ston.

We all enjoy your papers, Messrs Shaw and Brown, and especially the Heraldettes and Recordettes. May you both serve us "lastingly." More later. BILLIE, NEWS FROM CORINTH. Corinth, Sept. 11.

Tuesday of last week the Masonic lodge of Siler City, and The Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star hied themselves to the spring at Oak ley Baptist church, lou rmiles west of town and there held the annual pic nic. It was the pleasure of the editor to attend for a short while, and to iy it was a grand ocasion but mildly expresses it. There were more than two hundred and fifty people there; Masons, their wives, daughters and friends, and everyone pronounced it the best occasion of the year. Surrounding the spring were 75 automobiles and there were o nthe table many delicacies to tempt the appetite of anyone, including some two hundred pounds of barbecue mut ton and more than two hundred ears of roasting ear corn. ReV. Richard S. Fountain asked the blessing and following' this Mr. J. G. Seawell, the Master of the lodge, made a short addres of welcome and the large crowd proceeded to satisfy their hunger.

Fesmire and others were tire less in the preparations for a splen did occasion on this date and they succeeded admirably in their efforts. Milton Foushee, the recognized artist at barbecuing was on hand to do the work for the committee making the preparation. The pickles, sandwiches, and many delicacies were furnished by the Or der of the Eastern Star and the tab le was bountifuly supplied. The day will be Ion gremembered by everyone present and it was a nespec ial pleasure to the editor to be ther. We regret that business conditions prevented our staying the entire time.

Mr. White had been in his usual state of health and ate a hearty supper the night he died. He was an old Confederate veteran and would have been 85 years old if he had lived until December. YES, LET'S CELEBRATE. Last week The Record had some thing to say about the advent of elec tric lights in Pittsboro. It is a big thing for the town, but why not add the new county home in the program. That's a big thing for the county. Then if our citizens are not satis fied, let us get up a sure enough cel ebration and add to the lights and county home, an old fashioned home coming and have a barbecue some day in October. Lots of people, born in Chatham county, are living in other cities and states, would be glad to get back here for one day at least to see how fast we are progressing, see our good roads, the best in the state, see how fast our towns are building up and see how our farmers are prospering and to eat an old fashioned country dinner, such as Chatham county peo ple know how to cook. People, let's get up this celebration and home-coming and get together as we have never gotten together before. The Record calls on the Chamber of Commerce to get busy right away. We can have a celebration here and a big one at that. Get busy. UNDER$700 BOND JAILED. Thursday of last week.

RECORDETTES The Pilot is the name of a weekly newspaper, published m North Caro linas, and not a great many miles from this town. It is a good paper; well edited and splendidly printed; it receives a welcome in this office. It is handicapped merely by the name of the town in which it is printed, be cause the publisher has on the "type setters" and recently the dog gone thing dropped the first letter in the name of the town, but we are not go ing to make an "ass" of ourselves by telling friends where it is. Our printer-editor friend 'Gene Ash craft over at Monroe in his Catch All Column asks the question, "what smell does it take to constitute a man. Then he elaborates on a circumstance of having to sit beside a well dressed, pleasing appearing young man: in church whose whole antoray was fumi gated with odor of cigarettes, his fin gers besmirched with Oriental colors and his breath a second cousin to that of the polecat, and winds up by say ing that "no smell is the best smell." It reminds us of Bailhe, the great English physician and morbid anata mist, was being bored greatly by a la dy giving account of her condition and really having nothing wrong with her. She told the doctor that she was going out to the opera that evening and upon her return home asked him about eating some oysters. Baillie told her, yes eat them, shells and all. Many men are exactly like the subject spoken of by Mr. Ashcraft and as he states elsewhere, there are but three remedies: "The grace of God; will pow er or death. Of course the enforcement of the law regarding selling cigarettes to minors would do some good. " The New York papers are telling of a man sick unto death and he called in an eminent doctor to prescribe re lief. Upon entering the door and rec ognizing him, the doctor said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to call an other doctor." the poor, sick fellow became more alarmed and said is my condition really that serious doctor." "No," the doctor replied, "I cannot say it is, but I recognize you as the lawyer who once cross examined me in court room. Good bye, sir." This human prejudice and revengeful dis position has its adherents in the South just as well, although politics is more generally the adversary. Moral Love your neighbor. Did you know that a weekly news paper was really the property of the community in which it is published, and not an organ for any specific pur pose? Everyone has or should have, a kind of proprietary interest in it a personal interest, for it often talis of things that vitally effect you. The daily papers' tell of events of a nation al character and of state wide interest but the weekly sets forth happenings in the community in which it is pub lished and the paper is usually just -as active and good as is the community in which it is published. The home weekly publishes your birth, your first day in school, your graduation from high school, your entrance into cc liege your graduation there, your business career, your marriage, the birth of your children, the death of your hus band, your second marriage, then your divorce and all about the alimony. In fact it keeps the whole country in which it is published interested all of the time. You're cheating yourself when you don't subscribe for your home paper, and cheating the editor when you borrow one from the neigh bor every week. NO SECOND INSTALMENT. The Chatham Record in a recent is sue was advocating the return of the once popular whipping post for var ious offenses. The list of offenses men tioned covered a multitude of sins such as assaults which have recently occurred nearby, and vagrancy. But we feel that we must add another to the list, although vagrancy perhaps is responsible in some cases for it, and that offense is bootlegging and druk enness. This could probably be elimi nated if the state and county officers did their duty, but there is something lacking somewhere when this is per mitted to continue, and perhaps they are right a good dose of the whip ping post might be beneficial. At least this might be given a trial, other thing shave failed. There is no excuse for this sort of evil in a civilized com munity and there is no need for this to be "winked at" nor encouraged by allowing it to continue. If the officers can do nothing, let's try the old-time whipping post and see how many times the same victim returns for the second instalment. Asheboro Cour ier. Out of Danger. Wilson Bums, who was so danger ously cut on the head at Haw River sometime ago , has returned home much improved. He is now entirely out of danger. It will be remembered that while Mr. Burns was working at the new bridge being built over the river at Haw River Station, that an axe, one of the workmen was using above him, slipped off the helve and fell below, the sharp edge of the axe striking him on the head, cutting a gash some .three inches long, part of the blade entering the brain. He was rushed tp a hos pital. It was thought at first he would die, but a strong constitution has pulled him through. . LEG BROKEN. His friends in Pittsboro will be pained to learn that Nathaniel Hill, Jr., had the misfortune a few days ago to get one of his legs broken, just above the ankle. He was on his way home at Kinston to Morehead in his car. The machine became stuck in a hole and in trying to extricate it, his foot became entangled in a chain hrenlrinc the leer. The broken member. however, has so far improved that he can get around on crutcnes. 666 cures Malarial Fever. HOMICIDE NEAR GULF. Went to Kill His Man But Was Him self Killed. Hard cider or boot leg liquor is said to be tne cause of the death of John Hart, a colored man about 85 years of age, last Saturday night about 12 o ciocx at tne nome of Lincoln Haugh ton, another negro, two miles north QZ uun. Coroner Georee H. Brooks was no tified Sunday morning of the murder and he summoned a jury, and proceed ed to hold an mquest over the dead man.

Prom wVlflt. vuo fart loam if caama that Haughton and Hart had been to a iestiDuie somewhere m or near Gulf and that when Haughton came home he left Hart. This incensed Hart and he went to Hauchtn-n's house, while tanked up on stimulants oi some Kind, so it is said, and accus ed Hauehton of leaving him. and that he had come there fHauehton's house to kill him. In the fight that ensued naugnton cut Hart in several places about the head, throat and shoulder. finally stabbine him through th heart. with his pocket knife, Hart dying in a few minutes. Hart was unmarried. Haughton is about 25 years old and lives with his mother. UP AT BROWN'S CHAPEL. Pittsboro, Rt. 2, Sept! 11. We are very glad to know that our pastor, Rev. J. J. Boone, is much improved in health. He will hold his regular ser vices at Browns Chapel next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.

Hinshaw and chil dren, of Burlington, spent Saturday night and Sunday with her brother, Mr. I. A. Durham. Mrs. Eli Cheek has been visiting her son, Mr. R. C. Cheek, of Carr boro.

Lutterloh wish to thank the good friends and neigh bors for their kindness shown them during the time that Mrs. Lutterloh was confined to her room on account of a hurt by a cow. She is now very much improved. JIM. A SCARED YOUNG MAN. Dog That Licks Hand of Master Ha Hydrophobia. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Dezern live ovei in Raeford and they have, or did have a pet bull dog they called Major. But Major is dead now, and thereby hang a tale, although Major's tail was only two inches long. Major was very fond of his master and mistress and they were very fond of Major. One day last week he came into the office where Mr. Dezern works and he began to play with the, dog. Mr. Dezern had some sores on his hand and the dog licked them. A few hours afterwards it was noticed that the dog was acting queer and be gan snapping at other dogs, in afct, he bit several. Major was shot and his head wan sent to Raleigh to be examined, and in a short while a message came that the dog had a bad case of hydropho bia. Now, don't understand us to say that Mr. Dezern had the disease and gave it to his dog. Far from it. But others had noticed the actions of the dog before its owner found it out. Mr. Dezern sent to Raleigh for the Pasteur treatment and is taking it according to directions. Mr. and Mrs. Dezern are well known in Pittsboro, having lived here for many years, and they have num erous friends who wish him a safe de livery of the dreaded malady. MOVING PICTURES. The county schools will again this Fall and Winter be treated to some good moving pictures, if everything turns out right. Prof. W. R. Thomp son and Henry May went to Raleigh last Friday to make arrangements to show these pictures again over the county. Some folks object to these pic tures, saying it is a big expense to the board of education, but it is not so, from what we can learn, and they no doubt, have done much good, not only in learning the young people much, but gave them an opportunity to. enjoy themselves one night each week. Read What The Doctor Says. We again call your attention to an advertisement in this paper by Dr. Irene Patterson, the chiropractor doc tor. By reading the ad. you can get some comprehensive information, and if you are a sufferer, suppose you give her a hearing. She will probably do you some good. 666 quickly relieves a cold. BIG ATTRACTIONS FOR FAIR, The Secretary States Folks are Mak ing Big Preparations.

Four big days and nights. SLASHED HIS WIFE'S THROAT. Jack Jackson Takes Razor And Uses it on His Spouse. Thursday night of last week about ten o'clock, a murder was narrowly averted, near the corner of the Ma sonic lodee buildinc in Pitsboro when Jack Jackson, a young negro, about ii or ZS years of age, met his wife. from reports, it seems that Jack son paid more attention to anoth er woman, than to his wife, who is not quite 19, and was giving his mon ey as well as attention to the oth er woman. This incensed his wife to such an extent that she started out that night on the war path with her trusty razor hid in the recesses of her garments. Jackson and the woman came alone: about this time when Martha, Jack son's wife, made a leap at the other woman with the razor. Jackson sprang towards his wife and grabbed the razor, and in the melee it is said he was cut about the body, but nothing; serious. Then it was, as near as we can get the facts, that Jackson grabbed the razor from his wife and slashed her throat in front and on the back of her neck, cutting the throat and laying open the wind pipe. A frac tion either way would have severed the jugular vein. Ihe mans wife was found lvinir in the street and she was taken to her home where a physician dressed the wounds. It took 15 stitches to sew up the place. At last accounts it is said she would get well. Jackson immediately disappeared and his whereabouts are not known to the general public. SAVAGE CULBERTSON.

A woodpecker pecks out a great many pecks Of saw dust when building a hut. He works like a nigger to make the hole bigger, And he's sore if his cutter won't cut; He won't bother with plans of cheap artisans, But there's one thing can rightly be said, The whole excavation has this expla nation : He builds it by using his head. Capper's Weekly. ORPHANAGE SINGING CLASS. The Oxford Orphanage Singing Class will give aconcert at the school auditorium Tuesday evening, Septem ber 19th. Pittsboro always gives the orphans a full house and we have no doubt but what they will receive one of the largest they have ever had since thye have been coming here. It is useless to tell of the kind of concert they will give, because anyone who has ever listened to them sink ing, their dialogues and acting, knows it is a good concert. Don't forget the date. GONE TO CHINA. A farewell reception was given to Rev. L. E. Blackman and his wife, at the First Baptist church at San ford a few days ago, when they left for Yangchow, China.
